The seesaw and leptogenesis commonly depend on the masses of same particles, and thus are both realized at the same scale. In this work, we demonstrate a new possibility to realize a TeV-scale neutrino seesaw and a natural high-scale leptogenesis. We extend the standard model by two gauge-singlet scalars, a vector-like iso-doublet fermion and one iso-triplet Higgs scalar. Our model respects a softly broken lepton number and an exactly conserved $Z_2$ discrete symmetry. It can achieve three things altogether: (i) realizing a testable type-II seesaw at TeV scale with two nonzero neutrino mass-eigenvalues, (ii) providing a minimal inelastic dark matter from the new fermion doublets, and (iii) accommodating a thermal or nonthermal leptogenesis through the singlet scalar decays. We further analyze the current experimental constraints on our model and discuss the implications for the dark matter direct detections and the LHC searches.
